Privacy and Data Protection
Give yourself as much peace of mind as possible.

Data & Privacy
“Digital security is a form of harm reduction. In this training we share tips and tools on how to lock down social media to make any revealing or personal information more difficult for malicious actors to find. If you get doxxed, it is NOT your fault.
As we discuss in the training, everyone’s threat models look different. What works for some people, may not work for you! No one knows you, or your needs better than you. Please take what actions and advice work for you! What follows is information and SUGGESTIONS based upon our experiences and research.”

”But we know that work never ends when an organization sunsets. It ripples outward, with people taking lessons learned into other formations and projects. We encourage everyone to follow Data 4 Black Lives, Digital Defense Fund, T4Tech, Decoding Stigma, Kink Out, Safer Movements Collective, the Support Ho(s)e Collective, and Veil Machine and continue making space for cross-movement conversations, and skill sharing across causes for bodily autonomy. Our Struggles are interconnected and our freedom is bound up in one another’s.”

“Borders, check points, events and venues are increasingly implementing biometric gathering where we are by default opted in. […]
We are enthusiastically being sold the idea that Biometric gathering is frictionless and easy for us. We are simply not being told when and how our data is being used to train AI. But the truth is, it makes the taking of our data frictionless and easy for them. Keep tabs on Opt Out, privacy, and data retention clauses to know your rights.”
